I did shutdown -rF now as suggested in a mailing list and yes , it revealed
a FS with lot of errors (unconnected inodes, wrong count etc,,)

Then I reinstalled XFree*.* from first CD. Now X is working. Am left
wondering how a file system error has crept in as I never shutdown
improperly and I have UPS backup for 15 minutes too.
